\tThe World Health Organisation (WHO) launched a messaging service on WhatsApp [1] to provide updates and alerts about the global Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, with the help of machine learning (ML) technology.<\/p>\n

In a statement, WHO said its Health Alert provides news and insights about the pandemic, including details on symptoms, and guidelines for users to protect themselves and other people.<\/p>\n

The service also offers real-time situation reports and numbers, \u201cto help government decision-makers protect the health of their populations,\u201d the organisation noted.<\/p>\n

It was developed in collaboration with South Africa-based non-profit organisation Praekelt Foundation.<\/p>\n

Users access a WHO chatbot, which offers various options on information available, including details on the latest number of cases, recommendations for protecting themselves, news and travel advice.<\/p>\n

WHO hailed the potential reach the tie-up with WhatsApp offered: the number of monthly active users of the messaging app surpassed 2 billion [2] last month.<\/p>\n

The collaboration is the latest move by the Facebook-owned service, coming after it pledged $1 million [3] to establish an information centre to tackle fake news about the virus, along with tips and recommendations to limit its spread.<\/p>\n
